H doesn't know - I hardly tell him anything about my life.
I walked home near to tears and wished I had just stayed indoors all day.

Any thoughts about what I can do?





Why not - very calmly, matter of factly, maybe in an email - share this with H? Not in a needy way, but in a "hmmm, I have a problem here that I'm not sure how to deal with, how would you handle this H?".

That way you accomplish two goals -
- you give H a problem to think on (and a solution to come up with). Guys like that - just don't shoot down his suggestions (no matter how dumb!).
- it also forces H to think about what his absence does to you and DD4
